You know, I think the inception of canon romantic hannigram was just from Mads and Hugh’s on-screen chemistry. Heteronormative society and all, I’d always just anticipate men and women having this kind of chemistry on-screen and, at least from what I’ve seen, the natural chemistry between male actors is usually either comedic or grave or brotherly. Mads and Hugh’s on-screen vibe is more… intimate and intelligent. It’s kind of, like, anti-platonic. Maybe it’s the clash of their personal interpretations and portryals of Hannibal and Will. It could also just mean I haven’t seen enough things. I really do think that if it was any other actor in their position, the writing wouldn’t have taken that turn it did in s3.
